I wish I knew what type of connector was needed so that I could make sure I ordered the correct ones. I would probably order the kits, and then I would take my time and make the adapter instead of soldering the wires to the original wiring harness, which was hard.
If I sent them the picture of that adapter, I wonder if they could tell me what I needed.

The Forza uses Hitachi locking nylon connectors, just like most, if not all, early Japanese and all Chinese scooters.

The brake wiring harness "SEEMS" to use a 6 pin (2x3) 2.8mm crimp connector. (See Dennis' earlier post) I have not yet verified this on my own Forza.

You can get these at https://electricscooterparts.com/whitew ... ctors.html

fairly inexpensively (U$1.49) but you will also need the crimping tool (U$24.95)

A few hours ago I finished installing LED lights on my Bestem trunk. I'll add some pictures later. My Bestem trunk came without LEDs, at a price of $84 USD. I have had it for more than a year now and it's black plastic is starting to fade. I might paint it Black just so that it stays looking Sharp.

Gil, the case is black so my suggestion my be all you need to do. There is an item in the section of various stores called "as seen on TV" that will work great for you without you having to paint the case. In fact, it works for lots of auto parts. It is called 'Wipe New'. I think I got mine at Target or Walmart, but there are other stores that have it as well.

I'll check it out Mel46, sounds much easier than painting it.

I made myself a harness and used these connectors.
I ordered them on Aliexpress.com/
I had five of them at a price of $ 2.39.
Works fine.
